the figs are ripening, the figs are ripening. We had to net the tree
today to keep the grackles out of it. I think tomorrow we will pick
enough to make a batch of Mock cherry jam, aka fig jam with a couple of
boxes of cherry jello in it. Last year it was Mock raspberry and has
been very tasty. When you can't grow cherries or raspberries you get
your fix where you can.
I think I'm going to also make a batch of Bob Baron's apricot/pineapple
jam. Got the dried cots here and a can of chopped pineapple so why not.
Breakfast this morning was an egg, a small piece of fried ham,
multi-grain English muffin, toasted, with muscadine jelly on it. Made
the jelly last year. Well, made A batch of jelly and another of
muscadine syrup which is good on pancakes and waffles.
Tonight's dinner was dirty rice. Steamed brown rice mixed with chopped
boiled eggs, the Cajun Trinity, aka sauteed bell pepper, onion, and
celery. The Trinity all came out of our garden. Leetle black pepper,
leetle red pepper, some garlic and it was done. A fairly quick meal to
make, economical, hearty and enough for at least two meals.
